Official Street View Website

Tuesday, December 2, 2008

SMAPs, a website providing geographical information from New Zealand, has permanently closed, according to its website. Google Maps New Zealand has been listed as an alternative website.

SMAPs has therefore been replaced wth a new Google Maps feature in New Zealand's top real estate website TradeMe, and likesomanyotherreal estatewebsites, a Street View mode has been added, since Street View now has imagery all over New Zealand.

This was done, according to Stuff.co.nz, because SMAPs could not update as quickly as Google does. TradeMe probably wants to be as efficient as possible, so it seems obvious that Street View has been added.
